Six evidence-based habits to age well, according to Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel

Oncologist Ezekiel Emanuel outlines six evidence-based rules for healthy aging, starting with avoiding risky behavior and emphasizing the power of social connections, lifelong learning, a balanced approach to diet and sugar, moderate exercise, and adequate sleep. He argues loneliness can raise mortality as much as smoking and criticizes the wellness industry’s excess, advocating meaningful living through social activity, new hobbies, and sustainable health habits rather than extreme wellness fads.
